Let’s start by looking at the four forces of flight and the flight controls: Primary Flight Controls are things like: Ailerons Rudder Elevator or Stabilator Secondary Flight Controls are things like: Trim Flaps Spoilers Bernoulli’s Principle is: when you increase the speed of air over the top of a wing, you decrease its pressure, thus generating […]

Four Forces of Flight Pr Copy
There are four fundamental forces involved and acting on the airplane at all times in flight. They are: THRUST AND DRAG (THRUST opposes DRAG) LIFT AND WEIGHT (LIFT opposes WEIGHT) Watch the video above for a more thorough explanation. Remember that: IN UNACCELERATED FLIGHT, ALL FORCES ARE IN BALANCE (or equal). Even if the airplane […]
